Driving too fast or too slow

Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol

Texting while driving

Changing lanes too quickly

Truck driver error

A truck driver may also be liable for a Southfield truck accident if a Michigan traffic court determines that the auto accident was caused by intentional or reckless conduct.

A truck driver who is reckless is one who drives unsafely, with willful and wanton disregard for the probability that the driving may cause a truck accident and/or related injuries.

In another example, if a mechanic fails to properly repair a truck, and the failure causes a truck accident in Southfield Michigan, the person who improperly repaired the truck, and his repair shop, may be liable for injuries sustained. Other driver negligence factors such as poorly maintained roads and malfunctioning traffic control signals can contribute to the cause. Improper design, maintenance, construction, signage, lighting or other highway defect, as well as improper striping on the road's passing lanes, a sharp obstruction or problem with the roadway that obstructs drivers' vision, or poorly placed trees and utility poles can also cause serious truck accidents in Southfield Michigan. Finally, if an truck accident in Southfield Michigan is caused by an intoxicated driver, a bar or social host may be liable for damages sustained if they served an obviously intoxicated guest, who then drives and causes a truck accident in Southfield Michigan.

In Southfield truck accident cases, it is essential that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the truck accident in question, and to enable physicians or other expert witnesses to thoroughly evaluate any injuries sustained.
